Source Monitor is 1.3333 and Program monitor is 16:9 :(

Hi everyone,
I'm using Premier pro cs4. I have my image sequence in 960x720 format, my sequence for the same in premier is also 960x720 format. The imageSequence looks good in the source monitor. But my program monitor is wide screen and all is not well. the 1.333 images sequence is not right on the 9:6 wide screen. What might be the problem. Can you guys suggest me a proper format for this resolution. Also can we edit the settings of the sequence after it is created?
reply,
S

A sequence in Premiere Pro that is 960x720 is probably using a PAR (pixel aspect ratio) of 1.333; therefore, the pixels are non-square, and wider than they are tall. This results in a rectangular/widescreen/16:9 frame; I'm guessing you used a DVCPRO HD preset, which isn't right for your footage.
You can use one of those as a starting point, and then customize it. Select one of those presets, and then click the General tab in the New Sequence dialog. Change the Editing Mode to Desktop, and then you can modify any of the sequence parameters to match your footage; in your case, you'll probably just need to set the PAR to Square Pixels (1.0). You cannot change sequence settings after a sequence has been created.
And since you're using CS4, you should be posting here: Adobe Forums: Forum: Premiere Pro CS4 & Earlier

  • My Program and Source Monitor Stopped Working: Premiere Pro 2014

    Heres how it all started.
    I got an error which said I didn't have the correct video modules, then came the ugly face of BSOD. I restarted, tried again, same result. I did a system restore with Windows, reinstalled Windows 8.1, reinstalled all of my plugins and Adobe CC programs, and when I opened my project was completely scrambled. Uninstalled all Adobe software, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled. This got the audio in my videos to work but now there's only a white screen on my my Source and Program monitor when I try to play my timeline. I did another system restore on Windows, went to my laptop manufacturers website and updated my bios, graphics driver, and processor. Also reinstalled windows updates, and my Adobe software, I've tried CC Cleaner before each install, tried going back to the previous version of Premiere and still nothing in my source or Program monitors.

    Things I've tried from other threads:
    -I read that there might be a problem with the .MTS files so I've also tried starting a new project with .MOV files and h.264 and still nothing.
    -I tried going into the project settings and choose "render with software", still nothing.
    -I tried emptying media cache files under C://users/my user/app data/roaming/Adobe/common.....you guessed it, NOTHING.
    -I tried using my daughters "Frozen" magic wand we bought her for Christmas to fix the problem with icy magic like Elsa did in the movie.......surprisingly, still nothing.
    Any other ideas out there?

    Hi,
    Do you have Dual Graphics Adapters? You can check that under Device Manager > Display Adapters.
    If yes, Disable Intel Graphics and see if it helps.
    Have you tried to Trash the Preferences?
    Rename the 8.0 folder to trash the preferences: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro\

  • Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

    I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half.  So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays.  But you can see that the video is missing the top part.  Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body.  How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

    This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

  • Source and Program monitor are black/blank...Just installed CS5

    I drag my first video clip over to CS5 and put it in the timeline. I play the video in the program monitor and all I get is sound and no video. WHen I hit the spacebar/pause, I can then see the video in the program monitor. BUt when I go back to the play mode, it goes black again and I hear the audio.
    THe Source and program monitor are giving me the problems.  Any help for a rookie?

  • Program monitor and source monitor display issues

    Hello, my program monitor is displaying strange colours (inverted?) when playing video. In addition, the source monitor will never display any video although audio plays back fine.
    I am running on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 laptop with Windows XP 32-bit and an Intel X4500MHD video card with the latest Lenovo-certified driver version.
    From my testing, this problem appears regardless of project settings, file/footage settings, etc. I originally had the K-Lite codec pack installed although I have uninstalled that with no luck.
    This problem surfaced from the moment I opened Premiere after first installing it and I have tried reinstalling the program, my video card drivers, and uninstalling the previously mentioned codecs.
    Also I have a thread on this at the DVinfo forums which has had many responses although no working solution.

    I would try whether killing these processes will help. It may well be that when you kill them all you may encounter hangs, because one or more may be needed for your machine. I would start by killing all Lenovo processes. One would expect that one of these processes may cause your problems, but unless you try it, you can't be sure. Unfortunately I don't have a Lenovo, so I can only guess.

  • Source Monitor and Program Monitor dead in Premier Pro?

    I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop so I could use it on location, but both the Source Monitor and the Program monitor are completly dead. The Source Monitor just displays a bright array of colours when you try to play anything, and the Program Monitor is just plain black. The audio still plays at full volume and I've tested the imported media (a mixture of .jpg, .mov and .mp4 fils) in other programs on my computer and they work fine. Any suggestions people?
    Here is a screen grap of the Premiere Pro doing its thing: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A2mmd7JCQAEyPXV.jpg:large

  • Program and source monitors freeze go black

    My program and source monitors freeze, then go black and eventually white but audio keeps playing. My reference monitor keeps updating like it can see the video.
    I'm useing PP CC. Updated my video driver, but it still happens.
    No problems with any other video playing app.
    This is what happened when I tried to re-size the monitor.
    Update: monitors work with CUDA off. GTX 460 1gb

    As a footnote, I opened the project on my laptop (newer CPU and video card) in PP CC and it plays perfectly. My laptop has 3GB video RAM and the desktop has only 1GB. I wonder if that could be the problem. There were some big stills, maybe CC needs more video RAM?

  • Jim Simon question??? (Source and Program monitor freeze)

    Jim...Did I read correctly that you are NOT having the monitor freeze when your firewire output is set to desktop speakers?  Everybody I know is having the same issue I am.  When desktop speakers are set the source monitor and the program monitor both freeze when playing out through firewire.  If I set it to external device audio everything plays fine.
    If you are not having this issue can you tell me what video and audio card you have.  I would like to figure this out if possible...
    Thanks!

    tClark,
    I use two LCD screens PLUS a CRT TV, connected by firewire to a Panasonic DV deck, which is connencted through SCART to the TV.
    I can not replicate your problem. Pressing PLAY, even with a HDV project and with playback settings like this:
    you can see what it looks like from this picture during playback:
    Sorry for the flash, but it is just a quick snapshot to show what it looks like.
    BTW I use Vista64 SP2 and the video card is an ATI HD Radeon 4870 with driver 9.05

  • Source and Program Monitor not working after October CC 2014 Update

    I updated to the October 2014 Replace of Premiere Pro and since then I have had major issues with the Source and Program monitors. 
    I can select a clip from the media browser and have it appear in the source monitor - click play.  The clip will play for a bit and the picture will stop, but the audio will keep going. After a few seconds the source monitor will just display a red screen and the audio will keep going.   The same things happens in the program monitor  (different clips that worked before the October 2014 update) will start displaying the yellow media pending screen - and then go to red after a few seconds.  Again - this is a mutli-camera sequence that worked before the October 2014 update. 
    I am pretty much dead in the water at this point.  And yes, I have rebooted, changed the Mercury play back engine from hardware to software.  Nothing seems to correct the issue. 

    I have had similar problems. In fact playback is so sluggish it is unworkable.
    In addition Audio in nested sequences doesn't play back, and when it does it is intermittent. Totally unworkable!

  • Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

    Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor.  Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 - end of media indicators different in source and program monitors???

    Here are two screen grabs showing the right edges of the source and program monitors in PPCC 2014.1. Does anyone know why the end of media indicators are so different? Left is source monitor, right is program monitor.

    Those are actually different indicators. The one on the left is the end of media indicator, which lets you know there are no more frames in the source clip. The one on the right is commonly known as the end of sequence indicator, which can also get to in the Source Monitor if you play a clip to the end and then hit Right Arrow.
    Both indicators are controlled by the same option in the Overlay Settings dialog: End of Media/Sequence Indicators.

  • Oversaturated colors in Source and Program Monitor windows

    After I updated to Premiere CC 7.1.0 the colors is much more saturated in the Source and Program Monitor windows and also in the Bin thumbnails.
    Colors is fine when viewing the video under Export Setting, in the Title window, in the thumbnails on the timeline and also when I open a ProRes export in Quicktime:
    I'm on a Macbook Pro bought in January 2013.
    I've tried switching the renderer between CUDA, OpenGL and Software Only - no change. I've also tried unchecking "Composite in Linear Color" under Sequence Settings with no luck.
    How can I change this?
    Best regards,
    Kasper

    I've been editing in Premiere since 5.1 and this has never been an issue before. So what you're telling me is I can no longer rely on colors when editing on my Macbook without having to plug in an external monitor?
    I'm not buying that - it must be possible to view the same colors in both the Source/Program monitor and in the timeline/Title window like always.
    What could the problem be associated to?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Using the Source Monitor and Program Monitor

    strJiveDescriptionhttp://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/source-monitor-program-monitor.html

    Even back in the days of printed manuals, there were often sections, that repeated, as they had application to a few slightly different topics. I always found that better (then), than just having a note to "go to _____ for info on this." Probably used a few extra trees, but one did not have to constantly flip back and forth. Now that we're talking 1's and 0's, I can see where a limited bit of repetition would enhance the flow of knowledge, and understanding, even when hyper-linked.

  • Quality Difference Between Source and Program Monitors

    Hi,
    Hopefully somebody might be able to shed some light on my problem... I am working with a QT file in PP CS5 which is an animation created in AE CS5.
    File Details:
    Type: QuickTime Movie
    File Size: 507.4 MB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 24
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Total Duration: 00:01:00:00
    Average Data Rate: 8.5 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    Now when I view the footage in my Source with window (at 100%) it looks nice and crisp, bright and vibrant. When I view it in the Program monitor (at 100%), at both pre and post render stages the footage looks jagged, pixelated and much less vibrant, I've also noticed a slight colour shift as well.
    I'm pretty new to PP CS5 - sorry if this is something really obvious or basic that I have overlooked!, but hopefully someone can help me out!
    Many Thanks,
    Neil.

    Neil,
    The Source Monitor is a simple player (as is the tiny player window in the Project Panel), and plays directly from the AV file on the HDD, where the Program Monitor is displaying from the Timeline, and takes into consideration any decompression, any Effects, etc.. There are also several settings in the Program Monitor, that can affect the display, such as Quality (try on Highest), and whether one is displaying 1/2, 1/4, etc. Resolution. What are all of the settings in your Program Monitor.
    Also, what form of MPE do you have enabled, and what is the make/model of your video card? At the same time, you might want to list your video driver number/date.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
